Hi all,
one of my friend's H1B (new from India) was filed on 4th April 2005, thro' Vermont processing center.
When I am checking online for the status, USCIS is showing that it is processing April 16th 2005 cases and this case is still pending though it got filed on 06/04/2005. (Case status update is pasted below)

Can anyone let me know:
1. Is this a normal senerio?
2. How much time it take for the processing center to update a status?
3. When can he expect his documents?
3. Should he contact anybody in INS?

Thanks,
-ID
